It Could Be Worse – Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Did you know that Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is said to be worse than Lyme disease? I’m glad I don’t live in the Rockies! And the dog tick is a carrier, which means it probably spreads even worse than Lyme does. According to the Memphis Democrat:

Mention a tick bite and most people are worried about Lyme disease. But one Scotland County family found out there can be worse, after a canine friend was struck by a much rarer disease courtesy of one of the nasty little parasites.

Rocky-Mountain Spotted Fever is not unheard of, but most Missourians are far more familiar with the sister malady, Lyme Disease.
